“War Criminal” Sentenced: Other War Criminals Still Free and in Positions of Power

“A UN war crimes
court convicted former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic of genocide and
nine other charges Thursday for orchestrating a campaign of terror that left
100,000 people dead during the 1992-1995 war in Bosnia, the worst carnage in
Europe since World War II....”

“Although 20 years in
coming, the trial is hugely significant for the development of international
law. Karadzic's conviction will likely strengthen international jurisprudence
on the criminal responsibility of political leaders for atrocities committed by
forces under their control....”

“The verdict and
sentence were met with expressions of relief and satisfaction from Bosnian
Muslims and anger by Serb nationalists, thousands of whom took to the streets
of the Serbian capital, Belgrade,
to protest....”

There are other
powerful war criminals running free today and there is no attempt to arrest
them. Has the system failed, or has it become so corrupt that there are those
in positions of power that are untouchable? Therefore, the question must be
asked: “Will Nobody Arrest the War Criminals? Or Are Gangsters in Control?”

Based on multiple sources of evidence, one could come to the
conclusion that gangsters are in control. You can see them preening and
posturing on the world stage, impeccably dressed, feted and acclaimed by some
of their partners in crime, and lauded as “statesmen” and as “eminent persons.”
They give speeches at thousands of dollars a speech to some of those who have
profited from their decisions. Some of them even write books on their roles in
corrupting the world, only they don’t use the word corrupting. They use words
like “bringing democracy” and “responsibility to protect.” I believe it is the
people everywhere who need protection from these international gangsters who
start wars based on lies and cause death and destruction world wide. These are
the “respectable” war criminals too big to jail, too big too prosecute, and too
powerful to arrest because they run and control the system called “democracy.”
They could be called, “The International Community of Gangsters.”

This “respectable” gangsterism has contaminated the world of
today. Weapons are sold to despots and dictators. These weapons are used on
civilian populations. Governments in concert with dictators are partners in
crimes against humanity. Multi-national corporations are profiting from all
this bloodshed and the financiers of death and destruction also profit from all
this bloody carnage. Countries are destroyed and reduced to smoking rubble and
the perpetrators pretend they are practitioners of the “rule of law.”

Meanwhile the propagandized corporate monopoly media covers
up the enormity of their crimes, and they are also complicit by their silence.
I believe what we are seeing is “The Embodiment of Evil.”

This evil has no conscience, no morals, no principles and no
ethics. The slaughtered, maimed and contaminated children of Iraq, Gaza, Libya, Syria,
Yemen
and many other countries cry out for justice, as do their parents and the dead
sacrificed on the altars of maniacal militarism. Their cries go unheeded by
those in power, and this hellish slaughter by hypocrites from hell continues.
There is an urgent need for present day Nuremberg Trials.

“The Nuremberg trials were a series of trials held
between 1945 and 1949 in which the Allies prosecuted German military leaders,
political officials, industrialists, and financiers for crimes they had
committed during World War II.”

“Most war crimes fall
into one of three categories: crimes against peace, crimes against humanity,
and traditional war crimes. Crimes against peace include the planning,
commencement, and waging of aggressive war, or war in violation of
international agreements. Aggressive war is broadly defined to include any
hostile military act that disregards the territorial boundaries of another
country, disrespects the political independence of another regime, or otherwise
interferes with the sovereignty of an internationally recognized state....”

“The Saudi-led
coalition fighting in Yemen
may be responsible for "international crimes", a category that
includes war crimes and crimes against humanity, the top U.N. human rights official
said on Friday....”-Stephanie Nebehay and Angus McDowall, March 18, 2016.

“A strange aspect of
these conflicts is that Western leaders have never had to pay any political
price for their role in initiating them or pursuing policies that effectively
stoke the violence. Isis is a growing power in Libya, something that would not
have happened had David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy not helped destroy the
Libyan state by overthrowing Gaddafi in 2011. Al-Qaeda is expanding in Yemen,
where Western leaders have given a free pass to Saudi Arabia to launch a bombing
campaign that has wrecked the country.” Patrick Cockburn, March 20,2016.

“What a future? What
a life. – Add to these 3 million from Syria alone the uncounted children
from Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Afghanistan, Palestine, Somalia, Sudan, Pakistan – and
the list goes on. All of these children were made homeless and refugees and
many also orphans through wars and armed conflicts started by the US and
its western ‘allies’”
